Meeting between friends.

[Husher]

A loud hissing and the port side airlock opened. The three sailors selected to blow the naval officers aboard started to whistle ‘The Side’ the traditional welcome for a senior officer aboard a naval vessel.
Commodore Driscoll watched while the officers of the 41st walk in and take up position across his man. He musters the man opposite him. Vice-Admiral Wolf, “seems like a capable officer” he thinks to himself. “Looks like he has seen his share of combat” He looks to the other man around the admiral "Seems that man right next to the admiral is a lieutenant commander, must be his right hand. Also it seems the admiral is keen on security with those marines” He thought.

When the 41st man are all out of the airlock he says with a firm voice. “Detail attention!!!” All officers and marines bring the traditional salute towards a superior officer and comrades in arms. And await the reply of the 41st................

“Vice-Admiral Wolf its a honor to welcome you and your man aboard one of her majesty’s finest warships. I hope this meeting will be a good start for future operations sir.” He said with a firm voice. “My name is Commodore Ian Driscoll and this is my second in command Commander Mark Sullivan." and he extends his hand......

Sullivan turns to the marine chief standing in front of the honor guard. “Chief Ashton would you be so kind and show your fellow marines around a bit?
“Aye aye sir” She says with a firm voice. She turns toward her detail. "Guard dismissed". She orders two of her marines."Jefferson and Pierce you stay with the commodore." "The rest of us will show our fellow marines around."
“Ah.. and chief?” Sullivan says with a little bit of sarcasm in his voice.
“sir?” She reacts while she raises her eyebrow.
“None of your traditional card games this time chief” He says with a sarcastic grin.
She looks a moment to see if Sullivan is serious or joking. “sigh..... aye sir. Follow me lads”
